How is everyone? Before the actual wedding ceremony takes place, the Gaye Holud (turmeric ceremony) is a highly significant and joyful occasion, particularly in Muslim culture. It is an event where people come together to celebrate and share in the happiness. Although the use of musical instruments or loud music is not customary, the entire family gathers to mark the day with festivities, including the enjoyment of various fruits and creative, decorative arrangements. Today happens to be my nephew's Gaye Holud; he is currently twenty years old. Wedding arrangements often come together quite suddenly; the event proceeds through family consent and the mutual agreement reached between both parties.

On the day of the Gaye Holud (pre-wedding turmeric ceremony), one often sees an impressive array of various fruits. My nephew’s ceremony, in particular, was truly extraordinary; he was delighted to see such a wide variety of food. Everyone took turns happily feeding him sweets and various fruits. Finding the right bride is not always easy, so when a suitable match is found, the family—with everyone's consent—proceeds to complete the wedding rituals, including the Gaye Holud. My nephew took a commendable step by moving forward with this at the age of twenty, with his family's approval; this union promises to forge a wonderful bond between the families. We, too, experienced such celebrations in the past—occasions that remain among our most cherished and joyful memories. By the grace of the Almighty, it is possible to unite with a new family and embark on a wonderful new journey in life.

Children absolutely love eating this special cake; they take great delight in feeding it to the groom, making it one of their truly happy and joyful moments.

The joy shared by the bride, the groom, and the mother highlights the poignant reality of the father's absence; it is truly a moment where happiness and tears mingle. My nephew does not have a father, so his mother—my younger sister—is his sole support and anchor. It is only natural for tears to well up on such a joyous occasion due to the father's absence. Yet, the bond between parent and child transcends all else. Witnessing the formation of a new family involving one's child is a source of immense happiness. I pray that their life together is filled with happiness. I also offer heartfelt prayers for all parents and children involved in weddings everywhere. We often reach pivotal moments in life where joy manifests as tears. Thank you for your time and for your support.
